August Photo: Incense in Vietnam

If you like photography and visit Vietnam, you can't miss the place where the incense sticks are made. These are very colorful images that, although they have been photographed thousands of times, never lose their charm. I wanted to show the woman placing the sticks, but with her hands hidden; and I wanted to show her face without her looking directly at it. I used a wide aperture to achieve a shallow depth of field and focus attention on the human figure.
